Daebak

I went here with a friend for a casual dinner and was really excited as I love good Korean food. I spent 6 weeks in Korea just after uni and embraced ALL the food so it’s lovely finding food which reminds me of that time. It has a cafe feel, with simple wooden tables and a menu written above the kitchen area. Service was prompt and professional. Definitely don’t be fooled by the menu outside on the window which we were eying up as we queued (it was a Friday night they weren’t taking any more reservations. We arrived just after 7pm and had a 20 min wait for a table) - the actual menu is pretty extensive and has all your Korean staples included KFC (Korean Fried Chicken, Joachaim, Bibimbap etc). However I was a little disappointed with the food when it did arrive. I ordered the tofu and egg bibimbap. The tofu was really well done (crispy cubes, all chewy and squishy on the inside) but instead of what I was expecting - a freshly cracked egg which then went all gooey when it was stirred in - there was a fried egg instead. It was still good but it meant the dish felt more dry than I expected. It went went will the hot sauce which was on the table. We also had the tasting starter - crispy seaweed, bean sprouts, green veg and kimchi which was good. On a whim (and because I’m greedy), I ordered the prawn tempura. An absolute favourite. The tempura was heavier than I expected (maybe I’ve just been to places where they do it differently? 🤷🏻‍♀️) but as a result it felt a little more greasy than I liked. Overall, the food is tasty and I’d love to go back to try the KFC and the Japchae as they looked really good.

I recently dined at this small restaurant, and my experience was fantastic! When I arrived, there was a line, but it moved surprisingly fast, and I had my table within minutes. The food was simply amazing, and the portions were huge - definitely great value for money. The service was also impressively quick. I would give this restaurant a solid 5 stars for the overall experience.

Delicious Korean food! It was my first time trying Korean food, I didn't expect much, but it was really tasty. We got bibimbaps and a soup. I was eating bibimbap and it was really good, definitely recommend to try! They also have a happy hours in the middle of the workdays (during the lunch time) where you can get a solid discount (don't remember the exact amount). That's what we did:)

Absolutely delighted with my recent visit to Daedak in Vauxhall. Their fried chicken is a culinary delight, especially the Yang Nyeum flavour – it's truly something special. Also, the Honey Butter Powder chicken offers a unique taste sensation that anyone with a penchant for butter shouldn't miss. I've had my fair share of fried chicken around London, and Daedak easily ranks in my top five. Highly recommended!

I knew this place was certified because I have been passing it for years - it is always busy and it usually full of Korean people. I was not disappointed. My friend and I ordered the whole fried chicken (16 pcs), half Original Fried Chicken and half Nam Yeung (Korean-style sweet chilli.) The chicken was cooked perfectly, moist & tender while still maintaining a light crisp batter, so it was not heavy and I could actually have eaten even more. The coleslaw was delicious too, super fresh with a little twist on the typical sauce. The decor is simple, pleasant, unpretentious, just the way I like it. This is one of those places with a relaxed, friendly, casual vibe where the food is all the way on point. I can feel myself starting to salivate as I'm writing this review! Improvement: If this dish came with a neutral flavour to balance the rich flavour of the chicken (eg a small salad with lime dressing) it would be a 9/10. I'll be back. Vibe/Service: 7.5/10 Visuals: 7.5/10 Flavour: 8/10 Value: 7.5/10 Recommend/Return: Y/Y

We were visiting London and were walking around looking for a place to eat and found this little gem. I had Bibimbap Soy Chicken which came with a small bowl of misu and my wife had the Katus Curry with Rice Chicken. I also had a Kloud beer. We haven't had much Korean food in the past and are not sure what it was supposed to taste like, but it was delicious.
